Why did Zhou Yang change the welfare offerings of Zhou family monks from spirit stones to contribution points?
Is it because the Zhou family's finances are tight and they can't afford the spiritual stones?
Definitely not!
Even when he first took over the Zhou family a few years ago, there were still enough spiritual stones in the family accounts.
Therefore, the reason why he issued family contribution points was not to use the contribution points to tie up all the family monks and make them more dependent and loyal to the family.
The more contribution points a Zhou family monk has in his hands, the less likely he is to betray the family, because once he betrays the family, all the contribution points he has worked so hard to accumulate will turn into waste paper.
Since contribution points can be transferred and inherited, when a Zhou family monk inherits the contribution points left to him by his ancestors, fathers, etc. for several generations, no matter how many or few these contribution points are, he is burdened with a heavy burden.
I don’t want to let the things that my ancestors have worked hard to save and inherit from generation to generation turn into waste paper.
However, contribution points cannot be just given out but not recycled, nor can they only serve as a substitute for spiritual stones. They should have a more important role, such as redeeming foundation-building pills.
You can't buy foundation building pills with spirit stones, at least in the boundless sand sea world of immortality.
However, the Zhou family's contribution points can be exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills.
The monks of the Zhou family feel that the variety of treasures that can be exchanged for contribution points in the family treasury is not rich enough outside, so they have distrust in the role of contribution points and want to exchange contribution points for spiritual stones. This is human nature.
Moreover, Zhou Yang also knew that even if he really followed the advice of these people and spent the family's inventory of spiritual stones to purchase treasures from outsiders and put them into the family's treasury for exchange, it would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and would not solve the actual problem.
Today, this clan member lacks this kind of treasure and wants the family to buy it and exchange it for him. Tomorrow, that clan member lacks another kind of treasure and wants the family to buy it and exchange it for him. Isn't that a mess?
Therefore, Zhou Yang needs a permanent solution, a plan that all tribesmen can readily accept and support.
For now, Foundation Establishment Pill is the best method he can think of.
An ordinary person can work hard and frugally to buy a house of his own with half his life savings.
Not to mention the price a monk in the Qi training stage is willing to pay in order to obtain a foundation-building pill.
The attraction of the Foundation Establishment Pill to the Qi-training monks is undoubtedly ten times or a hundred times the attraction of the house to ordinary people.
The house only represents status and wealth, but the Foundation Establishment Pill represents not only these two things, but also power and life.
Therefore, when Zhou Yang took out the big killer weapon of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the monks in the Zhou family who were in the Qi training period immediately selectively ignored the small flaw that the contribution points could not be exchanged for certain things.
Contribution points can be exchanged for foundation-building pills, so why should they be exchanged for other things?
As for the option of opening up the option of exchanging contribution points for spiritual stones, this proposal immediately ceased to be a problem after Zhou Yang announced that Foundation Establishment Pills could be exchanged for contribution points.
Now, if anyone wants to use contribution points to exchange for spiritual stones, there is no need to exchange them with the family. As long as he opens his mouth, there will be many family monks who are willing to exchange for spiritual stones.
If loyalty can be shown by data, as soon as Zhou Yang announced this news, a large number of loyalty +15 data would definitely float on the heads of the monks in the Zhou family's Qi training period.
"Okay, I'm done. If no one objects, then I'll start talking about the next issue."
Zhou Yang looked at the fiery eyes of everyone in the audience and smiled proudly in his heart.
It is impossible to object. Anyone who dares to object to exchanging contribution points for foundation-building pills is the enemy of all monks in the Zhou family's Qi training period.
So Zhou Yang quickly announced his next topic.
"After this chaos, I discovered that there are great unreasonableness and hidden dangers in the division of labor in the family, so I intend to reform and optimize the division of labor in the family."
"In our family, each elder was responsible for various family affairs in the past. This cannot be said to be wrong. However, just like this time of chaos, once there is an emergency that requires the family elders to go to the front line to fight, once the elder in charge has no time to hand over the work, he will
This will cause the temporary replacement to be unable to do the new job and make things messy."
"And let me tell you the truth, being able to become a family elder, even me, the patriarch, can only mean that he surpasses others in cultivation talent, but it does not mean that he surpasses others in management ability and operational ability. We
In the past, when family elders were allowed to take charge of various family affairs, the emphasis was not on the ability of the elders, but on the prestige and strength of the elders."
"If our Zhou family were still the small family that it was before with only a few dozen people and all family affairs were decided by the patriarch alone, this system would still be able to function despite its many shortcomings."
"But if you think about it carefully, with the current growth rate of the monk population in our Zhou family, when the family's monk population reaches hundreds or thousands, will this kind of parental arrangement system still be manageable?"
As Zhou Yang spoke, he glanced at the family elders with different faces, especially the third elder Zhou Xuanlin who had made a big mistake in the financial income and expenditure report before, and then said in a serious tone: "I can tell you for sure.
, absolutely can’t control it!”
"So, we need to reform this system and follow the example of the big sects of the Huangshamen and Chen families. Big families also set up special family stewards to manage various affairs, and then the patriarchs, supreme elders, and elders will carry out the work.
Supervision.”
"Our Zhou family now has mines, medicine gardens, spiritual fields, animal parks, schools, shops, caravans and other places that require long-term management and garrisoning. According to my plan, in the future these places will have a family manager.
And the deputy stewards will manage the garrison for a long time. The family will give corresponding contribution point subsidies to these monks who manage the garrison for a long time according to their positions every year, and at the same time, the stewards who neglect their duties will be evaluated and confiscated. "
"The candidates for stewards and deputy stewards can be designated and arranged by the clan leader, or they can be self-recommended or recommended by the elders to the clan leader. Regardless of whether they are stewards or deputy stewards, their family status is not higher than that of ordinary clan members, and they do not order clan members to help them handle matters.
The power to do things that have nothing to do with work.”
"Once each steward and deputy steward accepts the appointment, they can apply to the family to dispatch other clan members to help based on the location of their management and the size of the unit. At the same time, those clan members who have learned the various skills of cultivating immortals and need to use relevant venues for practice can also apply to the family.
Go to relevant venues for internship and accept the supervision of the steward and deputy steward."
"For important places such as the family treasury, scripture cave, and general affairs hall, in addition to the relevant family stewards and deputy stewards, family elders must take turns to guard and supervise."
"Finally, you don't have to think that if you don't become stewards and deputy stewards, you can just stay on the family spiritual mountain and receive family offerings and do nothing, because after the new system is implemented, those of you who have nothing to do will be
We will all become combatants, and you will all be given priority whenever we encounter matters related to combat."
quiet!
All quiet!
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the square outside the Zhou Family Ancestral Temple suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
Zhou Xuantai, Zhou Xuanbin, Zhou Xuanlin and other elders from the Zhou family, as well as some elders from the "Xuan" generation, all looked at each other in confusion, and none of them looked very good-looking.
No matter how nice Zhou Yang said it, it couldn't change the fact that he wanted to split the power of family elders like them.
Originally, as family elders, they had the authority to take charge of any aspect of matters. For example, if Zhou Xuanbin, who was in charge of personnel affairs, was absent, Zhou Xuantai or Zhou Xuanlin could take care of it for him.
But now, if what Zhou Yang just said is implemented, all aspects of affairs will be specifically managed by the stewards and deputy stewards. Elders like them have no reason or power to intervene at all, and there is only one supervisory power left.
It is true that there are several foundation-building monks watching from above. Even if they have power, they may not dare to use their power for personal gain to do things that harm the interests of the family.
But without power, it would be impossible for them to use it for personal gain.
One is that they don’t dare or don’t want to, and the other is that it’s impossible. The difference is huge!
But when they were silent, Zhou Yang spoke again: "You elders and elders are silent. You must not know how to say it, so I will say it for you."
"My decision seems to be to divide your power, but if you think about it carefully, if the family cannot develop and grow, even if you hold power, even if you dare to use power for personal gain, with the current size of the family, how confident are you that you can
Without being discovered after using power for personal gain? How much of the family wealth can you use for personal gain and use it for yourself?"
"Let me make another calculation for you. With your ninth-level Qi cultivation level, if you no longer have to take care of things, you can go out and take risks to hunt monsters and find spiritual objects, or you can use the skills you have learned to make treasures for sale.
Isn’t it more cost-effective to earn spiritual stones than to be trapped in the family and think about how to embezzle part of the family’s public property for your own use every day?”
At this time, the elders could not sit still.
Zhou Yang has already spoken to this extent, and the old clan leader Zhou Minghan over there has been looking at him with a smile and said nothing. If they remain silent, even if they have never done anything to seek personal gain with power before, they will be seen in the eyes of other clansmen in the future.
, I’m afraid it’s just yellow mud falling into my crotch, it’s not just shit, it’s shit!
Immediately, Zhou Xuantai, the eldest elder of the family, immediately stood up and said: "Clan leader Mingjian, I am not saying anything. It is not because I am greedy for the power in my hand and do not want to let go. It is because I consider that the family currently has insufficient manpower. Once I wait now,
If we just delegate the power and do nothing, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to achieve the results expected by the clan leader, but we will actually make things worse!"
"What the second uncle said is not unreasonable, so my great-grandfather and I discussed a transition period of twenty years. Within twenty years, while we still use the old system, we will allow young tribesmen who are interested in serving as stewards and deputy stewards to
Learn from the elders and elders, and at the same time increase the teaching of relevant knowledge to the younger monks. Twenty years later, the new family system will completely replace the old system!"
Zhou Yang smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and immediately said the answer he had prepared long ago.
And his answer also made Zhou Xuantai and several other elders feel relieved.
The transition period of twenty years is not short. Twenty years later, half of the "Xuan" generation monks present will have passed away. At that time, who will care about the family council of elders?
As a result, several elders looked at each other, then they all bowed their hands and said: "The patriarch is wise, we have no objection."
"Okay, that's settled the matter. Let's move on to the next topic, which is about adjusting the amount of the maternity subsidy fund and..."
